Branding
It is important to find your unique style and who it appeals to, and then use that as a starting point to build your art business.
Building your brand as an artist is a crucial step to reaching a wider audience and establishing your reputation. A brand is more than just a name or a logo; it is the way you communicate your vision, values and personality to the world. Our article 10 Ways to Build Your Brand as an Artist will explain the importance of developing a brand and how.
Your brand will be the roadmap around which we would develop our web services.
Tailored websites
We build and maintain websites that are a part of your web services and support your goals.
An artist’s website that should be kept as simple, but well designed, with the emphasis on the artists creativity and does not detract from the artwork. It must be clean, well presented, and easy to navigate. When building your website, the content will always include but not be limited to – home page – portfolio of Images – about page including artist statement, biography, and CV – news + (subscribe) – contact section.
